Flotation Therapy is...

A Relaxation Experience Like No Other

Why Float?

Flotation is a unique therapeutic experience that enhances your mental and physiological health.  Without the need to fight gravity or take in external information, you’ll likely experience the most complete relaxation you’ve ever felt.

​

Our float tank, also known as a sensory deprivation tank, contains a precise solution of water and Epsom salts heated to your skin temperature. The buoyancy of the water allows you to float effortlessly on its surface.

Float Therapy Has Amazing Benefits

Reduce Stress and

Promote Relaxation

The float tank environment removes outside stimulus and gives your nervous system a chance to reset.

Floating minimizes production of the stress hormone, cortisol.  It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in

​

• decreased muscle tension

• decreased blood pressure

• decreased stress hormones

• increased endorphins.

Improve Sleep

The relaxation you achieve when floating appears to mimic various stages of sleep.  This functions to restore sleep deprivation and to assist your  brain in the same way as a restful sleep with both REM and non-REM stage sleep.

​

An hour of deep relaxation in the float tank is the equivalent of 4 hours of sleep.

Manage Pain

The zero gravity environment frees your body from the pressure of gravity and helps put your body into healthier positions.

Floating has been proven to help with:

​

• Arthritis

• Back pain

​

Floating minimizes production of the stress hormone, cortisol.  It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in:

• decreased muscle tension

• decreased blood pressure

• decreased stress hormones 

•  increased endorphins

Boost Creativity, Sharpen Focus and Improve Memory

The rest your brain receives during a float can enhance creativity, focus, and visual-motor coordination. 

Research has shown that during resting states the brain

• rehearses newly learned skills

• consolidates recently acquired knowledge for long-term storage.

• synthesizes information from a wide range of brain areas to solve tough problems

Increase Healing and Blood Circulation

Floating allows your muscles to relax and unclench. This improves blood circulation and helps your tissues and muscles repair themselves.

This healing can provide long-lasting relief even after your float.

Lower Blood Pressure

• Lowers levels of stress hormone

• Lowers levels of hormones involved in the regulation of fluid and sodium salt balance 

• Increases secretion of endorphins to produce feelings of euphoria and contentment

• Allows blood vessels to dilate

• Allows absorption of magnesium through the skin

• Generates relaxing theta brain waves.

Enhance Athletic Performance

• Recover faster from workouts. The float position allows lactic acid to exit the muscles faster, reducing overall muscle stiffness and pain.. 

• Floating can also boost your performance. Studies have shown improved visual acuity, tactile perception, and auditory sensitivity after a float. 

Epsom Salt

Epsom Salts are great for your skin, hair, nails, and act as an exfoliate. They aid in joint pain, ease stress, and naturally relax the body.  Epsom Salts help prevent inflammation in your joints and muscles and treat sprains, strains or sore muscles.

You will be floating for the full time that you have booked.  Please allow an additional 30 minutes to your schedule to allow time for you to shower before and after your float.

You must wait at least 14 days from the date of any type of hair color or treatment and 30 days for vibrant hair colors such as blue, purple, red, green, etc.  The salt water in the tank will remove the color from your hair.
